Mount Airy consists of 1400 acres of farmland, tidal marsh and native grassland mixed with stands of softwoods and hardwoods situated along the banks of the pristine Catpoint Creek, a tributary of the Rappahannock River and part of the Chesapeake Bay basin in the Northern Neck of Virginia. Known throughout the mid-Atlantic for its excellent duck and goose hunting, the marshlands of Catpoint Creek are an excellent spot to hunt waterfowl along the Eastern Flyway. The Northern Neck also has some of the best Eastern turkey habitat anywhere and Mount Airy farm holds plenty of them; as well as large numbers of, white-tail deer, bobwhite quail, bald eagles, blue herons, coyotes and the occasional black bear.

Waterfowl Hunt Club

After a few years of providing guided waterfowl hunts, we have switched over to a private hunt club format. Membership is completely full for the 2017-18 hunting season but we are accepting inquiries for the following year and to be placed on the waitlist.

A waterfowl hunt at Mount Airy farm is a historic experience hunting on the private grounds of one of America's oldest estates.

Hunting for trophy Spring gobblers on the private grounds of Mount Airy Farm continues a Tayloe family tradition that goes back to the mid-17th century. Acres of fertile cropland and tidal marshes with extensive pine and hardwood groves await the serious sportsman who wants to challenge their skills by taking a trophy Tom by arrow or traditional firearm in their 100% natural and wild environment. Semi-guided hunts are provided with overnight stay at the manor house with all meals plus a fully stocked bar included.

End your day in the newly renovated West Wing in a leather chair, looking out over the bowling green as the sun sets into the Rappahannock River Valley, with a favorite libation and an (optional) good cigar--the way things were meant to be. Parties of 1-2 hunters only for turkey hunts.

There are only a limited number of these turkey hunts on Mount Airy made available per year. Please book your hunts early.
